Overview

The City of Markham's ePLAN Quick Reference for a Hold Removal (HOLD) application, from Planning & Urban Design, June 2023. It explains the holding symbol "H" in a zoning by-law, which restricts future uses until its conditions are met and is removed by a zoning by-law amendment, notes a four-to-six-month process, and steps through the ePLAN application, document upload and email-based fee payment. Its submission list names a site plan, legal plan of survey and application form.
